[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 60434, member: 10"] 30 Cal Mag Fan, Converting a standard belted magnum chambered rifle to a RUM is a relatively simply task. Hell I built a 338 RUM out of a Rem 700 chambered for a 270 Win thsi summer and it was easier then most would think. I assume your rifle is a Wby MkV? The 300 RUM will give you at least 100 fps more velocity then the 300 WBY even with the Wby rounds freebore. The nice thing is that with a properly set up throat, the RUM will offer accuracy that the Wby could not. Depending on your rifle, you would need to shorten the barrel by up to .400" to clean up the freebore. Once the rifle muzzle is recrowned you could be looking at close to .500" shorter barrel with this conversion. Other then that I do not see any other problems. Good Shooting!!!
